No one responded to Xiao Xu, everyone was immersed in their own thoughts.
"But you didn't find Yan Qi's body?" Qi Jiajia came over, grabbed Cheng Miao's clothes and tilted her head in thought.
"Well, Miaomiao and I looked around, and there was indeed none." Qin Musong rolled up his sleeves, looking like a delicate man.
Cheng Miao followed Qin Musong's sleeves with his eyes, "Yan Qi is an old player and has his own ways to save his life. He may not know that we are here. We didn't go back to the place where we lived just now. Maybe he has gone back. See you. Let’s ask him what exactly happened.”
The few of them were silent, and just as the sun was setting, Lian Ge came back with gentle steps. She gracefully threw the broken lantern to the door, and Shi Shiran walked in.
Lin Zhu stepped forward and handed her the finished lantern. Lian Ge held up the lantern and looked at it. The lantern stand was stronger and the silk cloth was pasted with more care. She gently raised the corners of her lips and said thank you to Lin Zhu. .
This was the first time that Lian Ge laughed after entering the dungeon, and everyone in the courtyard was stunned.
Cheng Miao sighed in his heart, every move of a good-looking person is a beautiful sight.
Not long after, footsteps came from the door, and the village chief came in with his hunched back and his hands behind his back.
"How is it? How was your achievement today?" The village chief looked back and forth between Song Yu, who was stepping on the remains of the lamp stand because he was out of control, and Ye Zi, who had an ugly expression.
"We'll just make two." Lin Zhu handed the lanterns forward, and they were all together. He was not so kind as to do labor for others, but at this time, it was a team's business anyway, so he could help as much as he could. .
This is what Cheng Miao taught him.
The village chief's eyes moved to the lantern in Lin Zhu's hand, and Song Yu and Ye Zi unconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.
"You did a great job, you are very talented." The village chief looked at the two lanterns, with a smile on his face. He handed the lantern to the old man and slowly walked out the door with his hands behind his back.
"Let's go, come back tomorrow, go back and rest."
This was a good time. Cheng Miao winked at a few people and said she was going to the village chief's house to take a look.
Tan Wen followed her back, and the two of them reached an agreement in a flash and stood in the middle of the team.
Later, Qin Musong in the front and Lin Zhu at the end provided cover for the two of them.
"Do you want to use a lantern? If you use it now, it will be gone tomorrow." Tan Wen frowned. The paste on the lantern has not dried yet. Taking it out will only waste its useful life.
Cheng Miao bit her lip, thinking about when to run away.
Judging from their situation just now, a lantern without shade drying can last up to two hours. Lin Zhu can't make the lantern any faster. They can't take out the lantern now.
"No," Cheng Miao lowered his voice and whispered to Tan Wen, "Let's go to the village chief's house. The village chief's house is on the main road. We walk along the door of the house."
Tan Wen looked at the red lanterns at the door of each house and felt that the plan was feasible.
Qi Jiajia stepped loudly behind Cheng Miao. She wanted to follow, but the fewer people who slipped away, the harder it was to be discovered. She was the only child in the team, so it must have been obvious that she was running away.
After breathing out her breath for a while, Qi Jiajia reached out and roughly removed the hairpin from her hair, then stuffed it into Cheng Miao's hand.
Cheng Miao's heart warmed up, and just as he was about to say something, Qi Jiajia ran to the end of the team to find Lin Zhu with a cold hum.
She is still angry!
Cheng Miao smiled helplessly and pinned the hairpin in her hair. Tan Wen looked back at her with envy, "You two have such a good relationship."
Cheng Miao said politely, "You guys too."
Tan Wen smiled and turned back, "We are brothers, so of course it's good."
The two of them didn't speak anymore. When the team reached the crowded avenue, Qin Musong and Lin Zhu suddenly took action. One used his tall stature to block the village chief's sight back, and the other pretended to fall and got into a ball with Zhang Min.
Cheng Miao and Tan Wen took advantage of the chaos and left quietly.
Worried that Lin Zhu would break the lantern, Zhang Min didn't care about it and hurriedly helped them up and walked to the old house.
Seeing that the village chief and Zhang Min did not count the number of people, Cheng Miao, who was hiding in the crowd, breathed a sigh of relief. They looked at each other and began to squeeze through the crowd towards the village chief's house.
The villagers who came out now had a lantern for each family. As long as they followed them, Cheng Miao thought it would be fine.
As they approached the village chief's house, there were fewer people, and the two of them walked nimbly among the places where lanterns were hung in every house.
As soon as they entered the courtyard of the village chief's house, the two were dumbfounded.
"What's going on with the village chief? Why are there so many lanterns hanging up?" Tan Wen's handsome brows twisted into a maze.
Cheng Miao looked at everything in front of him silently. Yes, there was usually a lantern hanging at the door of every house. The village chief's family hung six of them, which looked festive and gloomy.
Cheng Miao gently took out the fish bone dagger with his fingertips, "Be careful."
Tan Wen was also an old player, so the two of them entered the door quietly without saying anything more.
There seemed to be no one at the village chief's house, so the two of them took the time to rummage around the room.
"It's strange. Logically speaking, things like Zhishu should be placed in the village chief's house." Tan Wen kept moving his hands, but he was complaining.
Cheng Miao also discovered that there was no such thing in the village chief's house, but all the villagers' information was there.
"Take it away. It's stored in the space package. There's nothing he can do if he finds it's not there." Tan Wen came over to look at the thick paper in Cheng Miao's hand.
As soon as Cheng Miao arrived at the copy, she was terribly cautious. She took out her phone and took a quick photo, "Let's take a photo. Although there is no evidence to prove that we took it, there are only so many outsiders in the village, and they probably know it is us. There are still clues. It’s not clear, don’t cause unnecessary conflicts with NPCs for the time being.”
Tan Wen thought about this and quickly helped Cheng Miao flip through the information so that she could read it faster.
It gets dark early in the village, and they may only have half an hour. Although they have lanterns in hand, neither of them wants to run around in this weird village with a lantern at night.
There were many people in the village and the information was very detailed, so it took some time. Cheng Miao finally finished taking the photos, put the information away, and saw an empty seat in the corner of his eye.
Tan Wen was about to go out, but when he saw Cheng Miao going back and staring blankly at the bookshelf he had seen, he couldn't help but take two steps forward, "What's wrong?"
Cheng Miao pointed to an empty space in the bookshelf and touched it. "There is no ashes. There should be a book here. It was taken away in the past two days."
Tan Wen understood, "The book of records was taken away by the village chief."
Cheng Miao's face darkened, "Well, I don't know where it was taken now. I have no choice but to go back first."
The two locked the door gently and were about to return the way they came. Unexpectedly, after taking a few steps, a man suddenly jumped out from behind the village chief's house.
The man was dirty and had many stains on his face, but he could still roughly tell that he looked like Zhang Min. There was drool on the corner of his mouth, and he pointed at Cheng Miao and Tan Wen and screamed sharply, "Run away, both of them." Don’t fall! Next! You’re next!”
